Greek Quinoa and Avocados
Greek Quinoa and Avocados
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
1/2 c uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained (I subbed couscous)
1 c water
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 c shredded fresh spinach
1/3 c finely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Spinach leaves
2 ripe avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and sliced
1/3 c crumbled feta cheese
1. In a saucepan combine quinoa and water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. (I used a box of couscous and prepared according to box directions)
2. Place quinoa in a medium bowl. Add tomato, shredded spinach, and onion; stir to combine. In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt. Add to quinoa mixture; toss to coat.
3. Place spinach leaves on four salad plates. Arrange avocado slices on spinach leaves. Spoon quinoa mixture over avocado slices. Sprinkle with some of the feta cheese.

I really loooved this salad. Absolutely delicious. On the quinoa, I found some in our grocery store, but it was about 9 dollars for 2 cups...no way. So I subbed couscous and it was perfect.

Look for Quinoa in the bulk section it's much cheaper and definitely a healthy grain! Make sure to rinse Quinoa before using it though because it can be bitter otherwise. I think I need to try this one!
